Book Description:
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Dylan Allen writing as Lucy Wilson-Tagoe comes the first story in her new Blurred Lines Duet series…
Who gets to tell this story? The sinner who lived it? Or the saint who stole it?
Sin Sackey is driven by the same hardwired need as every eldest first-generation daughter—to make her family proud. And she built her career and chose her partners with that single goal as her north star.
Everyone said she had it all. And for more than twenty years, Sin let herself believe they were right. Until a near-death experience makes the truth impossible to deny.
Her relationship is on life support. Her journalism career is in freefall. And the city she thought she’d conquer has chewed her up and spit her out. With everything to prove—and everything to lose—Sin moves back home to Washington, DC, determined to start over. No more chasing shadowy criminals. And no more men who look too good to be true. But on the eve of the first day of the rest of her new life, the saying about old habits proves painfully accurate.
A new lead falls into her lap, and Sin dives back into the story that nearly cost her everything.
Then, when a man who is all the things she’s sworn to avoid invites her to dinner, she says yes. After everything she’s been through, it’s reckless. But this story could resurrect her career—and take down an entire black-market empire. She’s closer than ever to catching its elusive leader, and she can’t let go now.
And this man—who makes her blush, makes her laugh, and understands things she usually has to explain—could be the one. So, she lowers her walls just enough for him to climb over. But just when it seems her gamble might pay off, her lead starts to feel more like a trap. And the man she’s let herself love appears to be the one who set it.
To Catch a Sinner is a steamy, suspenseful friends-to-lovers romance between a relentless journalist and a mysterious lawyer with a complicated shared past. Set against a fictionalized Washington, DC, this fast-paced, high-stakes story explores reclaiming identity, challenging power, and the pursuit of a new American dream.
My Thoughts: 4/5 stars
This my first book by Lucy Wilson-Tagoe, also known as Dylan Allen, and I already can’t wait for book two in The Blurred Lines Duet. I immediately have to applaud how phenomenal the chemistry is between our main characters, Sin and Kwane. The banter, the tension, and everything felt so natural between them – sometimes dialog can feel really disjointed or just inauthentic. Not in this book!
I was hooked from chapter one and the author is killing me with that ending! I need book two immediately and I can’t wait to see how this duet will end. While this is a romance, I wouldn’t say the spice is overwhelming and it’s perfectly sprinkled in throughout the book. Their romance moves quickly but I think the bond the author creates for them makes it feel like a natural progression. This is so much more and the author does a great job weaving in the complicated family relationships and dynamics, and man, I felt that frustration.
I enjoyed this book from start to finish, even though there was on hell of a cliffhanger. I need more of Sin and Kwame and to see how their story will end! Highly recommend to those who love a good friends-to-lovers story.
